Instead, however, of these pairs condensing progressively into the definitive bivalents of metaphase L, the early diplotene stage is immediately followed by one which Wilson calls the " confused stage " (J), in which the double chromosomes lose their visible identity and become merged into a vague, lightly staining reticulum.
